My last vacations

On January of this year I went to Elqui Valley in the north of Chile. I spent ten days in this place with my best friends; Consuelo, Victoria, Paulina and Dominic (they're all women). They're my friends since I was just a little girl, I met them at school, so we grew up together. Because of this we have a lot of things in commun, so we have very much fun together.
We decided to visit this little town because it's too quiet and disconnnected from all the hustle of the big city. We stayed in a camping named Rancho Rodriguez, in Pisco Elqui town, where there was a lot of young people, like us.
Being there we did too many things. One day we visited Horcón, a small artisan village, where all the people was nice and so hippie!. Me and my friends bought some stuff, and then we drinked natural juice of "copao", an acid fruit from this region. Another day we went to an aquatic park in Altovalsol, another small town, near to Pisco Elqui. We stayed in this place one full day, there was so many tobbogans, it was very exciting!!
Every night, in the camping, the administrator (Darío) lit a bonfire, and all the people staying there approached to it; some people brought drinks, another guitars, or any other instrument, so we sat around the bonfire singing, talking, sharing our drinks and laughing.
After being in Pisco Elqui, me and my friends went to La Serena. We stayed there around three days, we came back to civilization haha. The best of La Serena is its beach!! In January, it's full of argentinean tourists, they're so handsome!! We went out to beach parties every night and we could dance all night long, because it was so nice!
I think it was my best vacations, when we came back to Santiago it was so sad... but I'm waiting for the next summer and I'm also thinking about my next destiny...

My Best Friend

My best friend is called María Consuelo. I met her at school in 1993, when we were just little girls. The truth, is that I really don't remember very well how we met, but she's been by my side since I have concience.
Consuelo lived near to my home, so after the school, we always met in a park with another kids of the neighborhood. We used to play football, and also, in that park my father teached her to bike. At the same time we were growing up, we made too many friends in comun, so when we became teenagers we had a nice group of friends. With all our friends we used to go out on vacations; we went to La Serena, Viña del Mar and Valparaíso. After starting our last year in highschool we traveled to Brazil with all our classmates, on a "study trip", even though the less thing we did was studying. I think that was the best trip of my life, beacuse I met too many nice people, too many places, and I was with my best friends since always.
We graduated from highschool in 2005, and the next year I took as sabatic, while she got into University to study Differential Education. Even we took different destinies, we are still friends, and I see her almost every weekend; when I don't I miss her too much! I think she's unique, and that she will always be my best friend.

Something about me

Hello, my Name is Valentina and I'm a universitary student of Psychology. I was born in Santiago de Chile in 1988, so actually I'm 21 years old.
When I finished school, I took a sabbatic year and after that, I started studying Architecture in the Universidad de Chile. I had a really good experience being there, I met a lot of nice people and I learned too many interesting things. I discovered that I had some habilities that I didn't knew I have, and I got a boyfriend too, who makes me very happy until today.
I changed my destiny because construction is something that I hate, it`s very boring to me. I`ve always had some interest about psychology and all mind's mysteries. Also, some of my best friends curses 4th grade in the Universidad Diego Portales, and sometimes I think she made me a brain wash to make me choose to get into this career... so here I am.
